The biggest entertainment event of the year will draw Kapatid, Kapuso and Kapamilya stars together in one glamorous evening.

One hundred and twenty nine nominees in 26 categories have been short-listed by Yahoo! editors after tallying millions of search queries between March 2011 and March 2012 on Yahoo!’s No 1 entertainment property in the Philippines, Yahoo! OMG!.

This year, the search- and poll-based awards has added new categories to recognize the contributions of DJs and radio stations that promote Original Pilipino Music, as well as shine a spotlight on the fans who have shown immense support to the Filipino stars and to the Philippines’ entertainment industry as a whole.

Arlene Amarante, Country Ambassador and Sales Director of Yahoo! Philippines said, “Yahoo! has played a central role in the lives of millions of Filipinos who come to our leading online sites to connect and communicate with friends and family and discover things they didn’t know. Yahoo! Search trends represent what Filipinos are reading, thinking, talking, searching and sharing; it also gives us the insights into what matters to them most.”

OMG! Awards builds on Yahoo! Search, the popularity of its content properties and Filipinos’ love for music and entertainment to connect with the Filipino society. “OMG!’s success is a true testament of Yahoo!’s commitment to our online users by delivering compelling content that creates meaningful digital experiences and connecting our advertisers with these audiences through relevant, engaging and successful campaigns,” Ms Amarante said.
